SHIRT.

Application filed October 29, 1923. Serial No. 671 324.

To all whom it may concern: 7 lie it known t t l. Plum M. Pzlairiuux,

a. citizen the lfinited States. and resident. of La Crosse, in the county of Le. (frosse and 1 of ll "consin, have invented a. certaiu i and useIul improvement in Shirts, of which the folio is :i. full, clear, concise.

and exact description. reference being had to the accompanying drawings, tornnng a part of" this spe-cificaticui.

lrl ir 'ention relates to improvements in including boys blouses, sud particuthe so called coat shirts, one object the invention being to prevent the annoying tendency of the overlapped. edges at the front of snugly fitting" shirt to spread a part between the buttons just above the belt line.

Another object oi: my invention is to prevent the shirt from working up at the belt line by presenting a smooth fitting so;- face across the abdomen.

Other obi-cots. features and advantages of my invention rill appear from the appended claims, from the following description thereof, and from the accomponying drawings herein arer d to in whichl i gure 1 illustrates a shirt to which my invention has been applied. the bandage or flap member being shown in dotted outline;

l ig'ure 2 a detail of? the lower front side of the shirt. the overlapping side of the shirt being folded back, and

is a ti" usverse section taken on --3 oi? Fig In llQfLllQ 1 I have shown :iIshir-t of the coat type. that is, where the shirt h ttons v "1 the entire length thereli oi"? the underlying side of the T ed by the tape 11 or the recurring ol' the -52. The Ol'lJGL or ii nirt' is prorid usual her-.1 owning it outtlie liuittoulioles o f which til tween two adjacent buttons 12 and. preferably heyoiul each of the buttons so that. too total extent of the sccureiueutis rstantiall twire the distance between two buttons. As shown in Figure 1, this piece 15 extends principally above the belt line and a small distance below the belt line.

Adjacent its triangular apex, the piece 15 is provided with a button hole 1'7 which is adapted to cooperate with a button 18 se cured at the inner side of the o'verlying side 13 of the shirt. It is apparent that when the buttons along the button strip are buttoned and the button 18 engages the buttonhole 17, that the horizontal strain across the front of the shirt will be borne not only by the buttons 12. as is usual, but also by the button 18. the latter bein so positioned that it distriluites the strain on the button strip ll. over a considerable distance along the strip. as represented by the base of the piece 15. In this way, the buttonhole strip 1 1- relieved of the localized strain at the button holes which would otherwise tend to form horizontal wrinkles across each huttonhole. It the reinforcingpiece 15 were not used the huttonhole. strip 1% intermediate the buttonholes would be pulled apart so that the shirt would popopen at these points. With my construction. llOWQYOl. the major portion of the horizontal strain adjacent the belt line is borne by the button 18, through the reinforcing; piece 15 relieving the buttonhole strip H in this vicinity of most of its pulling strain. If any wrinkles are then tori nod, they will be at the side of the shirt sud in the opposite direction from the button 18 where they will not be isible.

An. added advantage in the use of this reinforcing: piece 15 is that it forms ahandz-rgc-like surfaceacross the abdomen which is siiiooth fitting, with the result that it efi'ectually" aids in preventing the shirt from working up from the belt during any exercising by the wearer. W ere the bandage piece not present. the sharp horizontal wrinkles or creases formed across the buttouholes would not present a smooth fitting surface across the abdomen, with the result that the shirt is much more easily pulled upwardly and out of place than when the surface around the bell; line is kept smooth fitting and without wrinkles. The advan tapes of such a construction permit; of the wearing; of a more tightly fitting shirt and. is especially desirable as an athletic shirtin nose of providninal bandage. said two flaps tends t0 prep at the Waist 111g 0t anu m working n F1110 side, for the pm th fitting abdo .nts spread ..'.s t fro up in a slnoo i ps'n'w ediate the bntto 1.
